Yoman GTO
Saw Yoman run a 3.82-209. Looked like a small tire too. He have the Kaufman motor in it?

Yes, pretty sure he put a 481X motor in it early last year.

For sure a Proline engine vs the KRE Engine. Not sure if Hemi or 481X.
Do not follow that manufacturer much. I follow the Noonan race engines out of Spartanburg SC. Tom V. Good luck to Tommy with his engine and program.

Guess he wasn't doing too bad with the Pontiac.....a Pontiac is only going to take you so far!
Yes it has a hemi, unless he has changed recently . GTO George |

The main thing I noticed is he had the car sorted out and made a really nice pass on the 3.82 run. Bet he wouldn't be off that number much with the poncho motor

And how quick has Chief gone with puny cast E heads and cast block ? Bet his car weighs more too.

The different lists say about 6.36 on the ET but that number is years old.
Hard to say what his actual BEST quarter mile times have been. Tom V.

When he (Chief) raced at Indy in the Crow Mod Firebird, I believe he ran a 3.99, 1/8th mile, 5-6 years ago. He made the field, but he was near the bottom on the qualifying list. The current GTO is heavier than the Crow Mod is, so no idea of what this car is capable of, with the same basic engine combination he's been running for years.
Most anyone that's currently running NPKs doesn't have any stock style engines any longer, from what I've seen on the show. Every engine is race bred origins. I've even noticed that JJ has been slowly switching from production based engines. I believe his latest blue Nova (Hummingbird) has a hemi in it. |

the reason why Chief is slower vs the others (according to a few here). Tom V.

That chassis is long gone the only thing left of Marty’s car is some of the sheet metal!

You're an engineer, so is lighter usually faster? Given the engine, and traction were comparable between the two. I'm well aware that he is outclassed in torque and HP by cars he would be competing against in NPK, if he were to run in that series. |

Easy enough to confirm that deal. Simply look at the chassis. The pics I see on the web still show the double tube chassis. Tom V.
